Last week was much easier than the first week! After only wearing 7 articles of clothing for a week, it became blatantly obvious that my closet was WAY too full. Like Dawn, I'm not a big shopper, but I have a hard time resisting a clearance deal or a 30% off Kohl's coupon. Thus, my closet is stocked with amazing deals, clearance items, and gifts from family and friends.
We are supposed to give away seven possessions a day each day this week, so I decided to start my week there. I tried very hard to be objective in picking through my attire. If I hadn't worn it more than twice in the last school year, or if it was primarily from my pre-baby era, it had to go. After fifteen minutes and some brutal self-honesty, my closet was reduced to about half of its original content. And there are still some more storage boxes to go. It actually feels much better having less! It's like a breath of fresh air or the sunshine after the rain. Less isn't a bad thing!
I haven't yet decided to whom or where I shall give these clothes. They are set aside, though, and I shall pray the Lord leads me to the right person or charity who needs it most.
